Kidney Disease :: Elevated Sugar /AST / ALT

I have uric acid kidney stones and recently I had Ureteroscopy to remove one. Actually when they got in there they couldn't find it in the ureter as the CT scan had shown so we don't know what happened to it.

I'm disappointed that I had the stone as I had been on a low purine diet which includes very little meat (6oz a day).

After this bout, I tripled my efforts, stopped all sugar intake unless it was natural in foods, no added salt and meat 6oz or less 2 times a week only.

Several weeks followed since the Ureteroscopy and the extreme diet change and my eyesight changed where I could not see out of my contacts or glasses. In fact, my eyesight changed 3 steps for the better and had to get new eyeglasses and contacts.

I'm also now taking twice a day Urocit-K (potassium citrate).

I wanted to know a baseline for my sugar and potassium so they did bloodwork and sugar was 145 which doesn't sound right, it should be lower and in the 65-100 range. My eye doctor said my vision shift was consistent with lower blood sugar.

My AST was 64, should be 13-40 and my ALT was 70 which should be 7-52.

For one thing I'm wondering if having the blood tests about 4 weeks after the Ureteroscopy may have skewed the results of the blood test but also what caused the drastic eye change, it was quite an extreme diet change for sure and the eyesight has stabilized and I continue to stay on the diet. I've also lost about 25 pounds in the last few months on the low purine diet. I also drink lots of water, no soft drinks, only unsweat tea on occasion.

The last CT scan before starting the Urocit-K still showed kidney stones in my kidneys which I had been on the low purine diet and I have more than before I was on the diet which doesn't make sense.

All these changes doesn't add up. Why more kidney stones? Am I starving for no reason as I can't eat hardly anything on this extreme low purine diet? What's up with the vision change and elevated blood levels?
